Every single diet I ever fell off of was because of potatoes and gravy of some sort.
I've done everything every fat person ever has. I've tried every diet.
If you believe you can shed pounds quickly by force of will and deprivation, you will in all likelihood not only regain the ones you lost, but add a few more besides.
I'm on a whisky diet... last week, I lost three days!
I remember when the Atkins diet arrived; I lost 16 lb in the first month, but when I stopped, it all went back on again.
Every time I say I'm going on a diet I end up eating chocolate.
I don't have the self-discipline for diets; I break rules I set for myself, so I try and eat more healthily, juice more, and avoid sugar.
Freak diets I don't think work. It's control.
I've outlived all my diet doctors.
Well, we became a vegetarian. But that didn't last very long, because, um, I don't like vegetables. Or salad, nothing like that!
I tell people diets don't work. And I don't care what they say. I have tried them all.
I don't think the problem is telling people you're on a diet. The problem is eating ice cream for breakfast.
There are now more obese people in the United States than there are overweight people. I think it's safe to say that after all these years, Diet Coke is a complete failure.
I don't believe in diets. I don't believe any diet ever works.
At the end of every diet, the path curves back to the trough.
I did a very stupid diet where you have three food groups, and you never eat them together. It's so bloody tedious; I'm losing the will to live just describing it. I managed to stay very thin because you spent your life wandering around starving hungry looking for a chickpea to go with a chicken leg.
Diets don't really work for me.
The trouble with dieting is that a pound of will power takes off only an ounce of weight.
Diets are a fool's errand.
I tried the Scarsdale diet and the Stillman water diet (you remember that one, where you run weight off trying to get to the bathroom).
I'm on a diet. It's very strict: all hot dogs. Just sausages, constantly. It's working out - I've gained fifteen pounds!
I was in the Pritikin Center in Santa Monica once, trying to lose 30 or 40 pounds in a month. I'd work... on a treadmill and with the weights, but it was driving me nuts. So I escaped. Tom Arnold picked me up and we went to Le Dome and had tons of desserts.
I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren't in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most of the diets.
I once ate nothing but grapefruit for an entire month. I didn't lose a pound.
There is no quick fix. At the end of the day, you still have to do the work to maintain your weight. It can't be a diet. You have to change your life.
